I probably do but Im having a hard time remembering a fun one, most **** that happens tends to be depressing or infuriating.

When I was fresh out of uni I used to shadow a farm vet. Fun times. We would play guns n roses in the car and talk about nerdy **** on the way to farms, then switch to serious professional mode when arriving. There was this really old couple that was around 80. We were talking with the husband for a while and eventually the conversation end up about the old mans days as a swinger. He said they didnt have much to do for fun so the farmers would **** each others wifes, sometimes having orgies and other kinky ****. And then this sweet old lady comes by and is like "what are you guys talking about?" And hes like "oh nothing, just sports and stuff" and winks at us.

How would one check the meat normally?
I'd assume just cutting the meat and checking the pieces, but I know there are smaller parasites.
I am unable to hunt atm, but would like to do so soon. And eating parasites is not on my to-do list.

we had a few sheep when i was younger, one day, one of them had gotten out of our enclosure and managed to get up on the railroad tracks that were fairly close to our house
of course it got hit, bad, but it didn't die - but was in a lot of pain and was going to die.
so our mother (i was at school when this happened, which i'm happy for) was forced to grab a sledgehammer and beat it to death with.

in Norway standard practice is killing any animal you hit with your car. Either yourself, or there's a number you can call which sends some hunter out to kill the animal. It's more humane really, with a broken hip the animal will just starve to death over a week instead of being put down painlessly.

Im not bashing on him for killing it, its just that he seemed rather ineffective in doinh it quickly, a knife to the carotid and yugular would've been faster (these people always carry blades). And the meat is going to taste like ****. He said he bled the animal and gutted him soon afterwards... so why the ******* hammer!?

that does sound weird, I'd be more concerned with the repair costs of my vehicle. But even if it was a illegal kill, if it's a wild boar, they'd most likely thank him. From what I've heard those things are like the mammal version of locust.

Europe has strict biosanitary laws ever since mad cow disease. Cadavers are considered a type 2 subproduct and must be incinerated inmediately (and running it over doesnt constitute as hunting so its not included in the exceptions).

Tecnically he shouldve called the authorities and they would senf a clean up crew. If he was caught he could face a mighty hefty fine.

And if he gutted the animal right there, he wouldve gotten even a bigger fine. Biosanitary laws are a huuge pain in the ass.

Ah, I didn't know you were european. The laws in the states are somewhat like that. You're allowed to take the meat from a animal in another state home, but it has to be butchered and you're not allowed to take a head/spine. As far as road kill, that depends on the game warden. Some will take the animal, some let you keep it (if it's a male deer they take the head). But I can see why your country would have a issue with it. All it takes is one person getting some type of infection and spreading it to cause a HUGE outbreak.

it is, all the **** they have to deal with, they deserve it. Well, Europe is or...at least used to be. A more laid back place with the occasional "Oh ****!" moment. As to where N. America, is a bit more wound up. Americans are constantly on edge because we have so many cities that everyone's on each other's nerves. Essentially N. America is a powder keg ready to blow.

I think that (much like my home town Erie,Pa) is because the mafia lost control of the city. When the mob runs the town people watch their steps and obey the laws. Once the mafia loses their grip then people over step their bounds and bring all kinds of hell.

The slaughtermask isn't deadly, its meant to knock the animal out by ******* up the frontal lobe of the brain. In some countries its been replaced with the gas piston. One of the inconveniences of slaughtermasks was that it contaminated brain matter from one body to another and its a bit outdated but still legal in some places.

The animal is immediately collapsed, then its immediately lifted upside down and another dude pokes the neck with this pointy prod and the blood is collected.

A proper bleeding is absolutely essencial otherwide the meat spoils very fast.

Technically its desirable that the animal remains alive during the bleeding process to allow a proper bleeding ( the heart still beats, if we use only gravity then the blood can pool in the extremities, thus losing meat quality = losing money)

In most first world countries animal welfare laws are pretty extensive. In europe it is strictly forbidden to use physical force to put down an animal in a slaughterhouse which is why they keep coming up with new contraptions. The laws are pretty similar to american laws but tje american ones are a bit more relaxed.

Do you by chance work in a slaughterhouse or do you slaughter at home? Usually they have different regulations for home slaughter, but one is generally not allowed to sell to the public.

As a hunter, I'm impressed that he killed it so effectively. If you don't know what you're doing you probably won't kill anything very quickly with a knife. Besides, those ******* bite. And trying to salvage the meat, well why not? Shame to just let it rot. Could be good if the guts didn't rupture.

I respect that he did the right thing and put it out of Its misery. And hey, free food. But man the way he told it was kind of unsettling.

Boars do have very thick skulls, so it is actually pretty impressive as you said. Its a good thing he had hunter buddies that told him what to do with the body, otherwise it wouldve been a waste of meat.

Personally I wouldnt eat the meat, but as far as my services were required it was relatively safe to eat. He only brought a tongue sample though so I warned him that we cant discard the animal having parasites.
